yes. this makes high performing Windows relays much more difficult in practice.

there are pages written years back in tor-talk, tor-dev, and tor-relays lists regarding the non paged pool, event handling, and other resources limits on Windows, which are still true today more or less.

IIRC that's what the bufferevent code was supposed to be for, but it hasn't been maintained in a while, and is known to be buggy.

speaking of buffer events and higher performance ... [ bump for threading thread ] *grin*
